Sushi made by wrapping dried seaweed around vinegared rice, topped with salmon roe and sea urchin which is easy to crumble on top. It has got its name from the appearance that looks like a “battleship”. Believed to be first invented by Mr. Hisaji Imada, the sushi chef who was the first owner of fancy, exclusive sushi restaurant “Ginza Kyubey”.

Toyosu Market will be open to visitors from October 13, but the new tuna auction will only open to the public from January 15, 2019.
